FREMONT — A 15-month-old girl suffered almost no injuries Saturday morning when she fell out of a second-story window and landed on plastic furniture on the patio below, police said.

The child and her parents were in an upstairs bedroom of their home on Langdon Common about 11 a.m. when the toddler leaned into an open window and fell through the screen, Sgt. Chris Mazzone said.

“They said they were talking to her about a birthday party while cleaning the room when she leaned against the screen and fell through,” he said.

The girl fell about 17 feet and hit a plastic folding banquet chair before landing on the patio, the sergeant said.

Her parents then rushed their child to Washington Hospital to be evaluated, but she had suffered almost no injuries, Mazzone said.

As a precaution, hospital employees alerted police to the incident as a possible child-abuse case. Authorities went to the home to investigate and later determined that the fall indeed was an accident, the sergeant said.

"But storing all the data that they collect - that cost is extraordinary. The smaller the department, the tougher it tends to be for them."
